2. It's a scam.

This is not the way Microsoft does things. You will call next and thing you know the “rep” will want to screen share, tell you there’s an issue with your computer and they’ll want more money. They also have you log into your bank while claiming they can’t see the password because it appears hidden, but they will gain access to your account. Any time you get a pop up for a security update while in a browser, it is a scam. I know someone who lost their life savings with this scam.
